A Good Day book

This moving gift book truly stirs gratitude for the blessing of life and the everyday wonder and beauty of nature.

Based on the beloved meditation by Brother David, with music by Gary Malkin, this book pairs Br. David’s inspirational words with images by acclaimed filmmaker, Louie Schwartzberg. The book package includes a DVD with two short films by Schwarztberg (including Gratitude) and Brother David’s own A Good Day video. The last page has a link to the “A Good Day” audio track, which you can use to create your own video or slide show on what you are grateful for.
